pros and cons of maschine

I agree to an extent, though I wouldn't say badly written, just not very comprehensive overall. I think the stuff that is in there is pretty clear. There just doesn't seem to be everything in there.

What do you mean? In what way?

 

dislike the bright orange pads , flat design and shift push x for y function styled approach can stay in the 90s

i think they are fair points.

 

Fair enough. They obviously can't please everyone with the colour though.
Do you mean physically flat? As opposed to more of a wedge shape?
And how would you propose to get extra functionality without using the shift+ approach? I'm not necessarily in opposition, just wondering.

 

What exactly does 'no timestretch' mean? Does that mean that Mashine won't sync the tempos of my loops and audiotracks when I add them to the project? We're talking about audio, not MIDI, here aren't we? If you could lighten me up on this I'd be thankful...

 

Well, that was quick. In case some of you missed it, the latest version of the beta has already fixed this. You can now have different length patterns without having it all reset by the longest pattern, without needing any workaround.

 

yep yep, and thank goodness for that, now maybe everybody trying to shout down reasonable request will just shut up and bask in the good work NI is willing to give us.

 

Very quick! They are listening! I am actually very impressed.

And for me, I can't find any more cons, so I guess Maschine is the best thing around.

 

Wow. If this is true.. I need to get on and install that 1.6 beta!
